Epiphany

You got the best of me
when you left me all alone
with only my demons
to keep me company

you left and took my soul with you
stranded me with nothing 
abandoned, rejected, afraid, hollow
with no hope of getting through

and yet here I am still
I just can't seem to go away
no matter how much I try to give up
I have too strong of a will

so you left me for dead
but you didn't make sure I stopped breathing
and now I am gonna survive
yeah I am gonna live instead

does that make you mad at all
or do you even care
is apathetic the way you feel
did you even take the fall

I must have been the only one
to really go all in
and feel completely committed 
but I was obviously all alone

so take your leave and permanently go
never to return again
I don't want you around me at all
this truth I finally know
